The Unsung Hero.

I get to spend most of my day working with and talking to people from all walks of life. I have the satisfaction of helping people to stay active and independent despite disease or injury. I get to choose from a number of different work environments - from hospitals to sports clubs or people's home. I learn more about the human body and find out about how different diseases affect it. And yet I am un-noticed. Yet I'm The un-sung hero of the society.

People look at me with the eyes of a masseuse..I'm more than that.I have the power to cure a person without the help of medications.I have the power of healing a person, without cutting it open.

I stand all day on my feet. I study each day more, so that you lead a better life.Yet I'm the unsung hero.

I walk you through the pain. Holding your hand, being by your side at every step.I'm the one going through your anger, yet composed.

You are just like an unborn child to me. When I see you get better, its the same feeling of that what a mother gets seeing her child develop.

The only wish I have all this while is just not to see you again. That you never fall sick till this extent and go through all this pain, frustration and helplessness. That you have to come back to me again.

I'm A Physiotherapist. I'm Your Unsung Hero.

Hospitals And Health Care, Are They Really Health Care Or Just Another Money Making Machine?

My experience with the doctors as such has not been good. Hence I decided to become one.With the motto to serve the people, without thinking of my own profit.And to see actually what  makes the doctors of today so ruthless that they forget the "Hippocratic Oath" and look at their ease and well being.The oath of the patient first, vanishes somewhere.

With two years as a learner in the medical profession (Physiotherapy) has let me to understand this.

1) Use Machines On the Patients.Even though not needed. Reason? Who will manually put efforts and most precious energy in the patient who is in pain?? After the machines done for the day..instruct a few exercises for few days.
2) A minimum 5-Days Visit.
3) If the patient complaints - Doctor sahab machine lagane k baad bhi dard nahi gaya,then care to physically examine the patient.
4) Keep On Prescribing Painkillers, Etc and keep on chasing the patient away.(For the time being)
5) Patient persistent???(What The F**K and have to now get up,stand and mobilize its limb)Come Lemme try something new.

Meaning what was supposed to be the initial step comes on to the last. This was the practical part of it.Now lets come to the theory.

 Medical profession is surely not easy. Noh I'm not saying by looking at the amount of material to be studied. I'm saying because the amount of abuse given by the people - Faculty,Seniors.
At the end of the day one feels mentally raped. And with time the sensation goes, just like the cardiac rhythm gone flat.
Do not expect the seniors/faculty to understand that you are a human,can fall sick too. Because you are in medical profession,you are a super human!

Your patients society status matters a lot in the treatment plan..if the patients rich..you are supposed to give a respectful n correct treatment. If your patient is poor..you are supposed to be rude and just HANDLE the patient. Thought the fee given by both is same.

Like any other course in India, medical is also self study one.Do not expect your teachers that they will take classes etc. And if they do, they manage to make it super boring.

At the end of the day,only one thought remains unanswered in my mind - What and Where things are so wrong that, a profession like medicine has become ruthless.Where students are taught ruthless-ness. Human life has no value.

Should I become the same? Or still stand on my principles?
Indian cinema has managed well in portraying doctors are almost equivalent to god. In olden days..True. In today's date??

MBBS,BDS,BPT all in the end is about the heavy flow of money into ones bank accounts and the Society Status, not the Hippocratic Oath.

In the end, its a saddening situation around and nobody cares.
